Pat Shurmur starts his second year as the browns head coach. Let’s face it folks, Pat Shurmur didn’t have a spectacular first year on the job. Many fans in Cleveland feel Pat Shurmur is not the right guy to lead the Cleveland browns, they feel one of the reasons he’s here, is because of his family ties to Browns President Mike Holmgren.
With this sale of the Cleveland Browns pending, Pat Shurmur’s job will be viewed with a microscope this year. The Cleveland Browns drafting Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden in the first round of this year’s NFL draft, Pat Shurmur has to hope these two guys can make an impact for the team.
If the sale of the Cleveland Browns is complete before the 2012 NFL season officially starts, Mike Holmgren could be replaced as the team’s president. If that’s the case, Shurmur will lose the protection he once had at the top of the Cleveland Browns organization.
With Jimmy Haslam buying the Cleveland Browns there is plenty of speculation t...

Another step in Weeden's educational process
BEREA -- The education of a rookie continued Sunday.
Brandon Weeden got baptism by pads, and he understood immediately that the first Cleveland Browns training camp practice in full gear meant the intensity was that much higher.
Especially for the defensive guys, Weeden said. Throw those pads on and start thumping up, theyre just hungry to do that. Everybody gets more intense.

The Browns had a rather spirited practice this morning, complete with some goal-line drills, two minute offense and even a couple of minor scuffles. A couple of rookies stepped up, while others struggled and a veteran receiver looked good.
LB James-Michael Johnson looked very good in drills and in the two minute situations. He picked off two passes, one of which was tipped. He was...

One of the things we talked about most last year at this time was the maturity of Colt McCoy. He got the team together for “Camp Colt” down in Texas. He spent a weekend throwing with Brett Favre to try and improve his game. He had the support of his teammates in camp and did all the big interviews with the national writers that came through town. That was last year. This year...

Randy Lerner’s father, Al Lerner, bought the Browns for $530 million in 1998. After a decade of losing, Randy was looking to sell the Brownies for a price upward of $1 billion (sweet gig, being a sports owner, eh?). While it looks like Lerner’s billion dollar asking price won’t be met, I’d imagine he’ll be okay with this outcome:
